Research Interests

I am mostly interested in wireless communication networks, especially Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET's).
A mobile ad hoc network is a type of wireless communication network which, in general, consists of solely mobile hosts and dispenses with infrastructure.
With limited transmission range and continuous mobility of the hosts, routing in ad hoc networks, among many other issues, is more challenging than in wired communication networks.
When more efficient variations of existing routing algorithms are proposed for ad hoc networks, network clustering,
in a different direction, eases routing by abstracting the topology to a simpler version.
For example, graph domination provides a good formulation for network clustering.

One important application of the ad hoc networking technology is to implement Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN's).
A WSN is a collection of sensors interconnected by wireless communication channels.
Each sensor node is a small device that can collect data from its surrounding area, carry out simple computation,
and communicate with other sensors or with the controlling authorities of the network.
Long distance communications can be achieved in a multi-hop fashion.
Such networks have been realized due to recent advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems and advanced wireless networking, and are expected to be
widely used for such applications as environment monitoring, intrusion detection, and earthquake warning.
